About this network

WOW! is a US cable operator selling broadband, TV and phone across a scattered footprint in the Midwest and Southeast.

What it's used for

• Residential and small-business cable broadband. The sampled reverse DNS is full of d24-192-175-254.try.wideopenwest.com-style names, the per-subscriber pattern a cable modem plant generates.

Notable

• 631 IPv4 prefixes for 797,000 addresses. That ratio is the fingerprint of a company assembled by acquisition rather than one that grew into a single contiguous allocation.
• Some of that space still answers under knology.net. Knology was a separate southeastern cable overbuilder that WOW! bought in 2012, and more than a decade later its reverse DNS zone is still in service.

Interesting

• WOW! built much of its footprint as an overbuilder, entering markets already served by an incumbent cable company rather than holding a franchise of its own. That strategy is why the map is a patchwork of metros instead of a contiguous region, and it shows up directly in the shape of the address space.
